Parents

My parents arrived Monday afternoon, full of their typical traveling stories: first, livin' it up in a transatlantic business-class experience to London, then getting off and living the life of a backpacker by taking about 4 trains through London, then a few buses to fly to another airport that required another 2 trains to get to Edinburgh (a trip from London that usually takes about 1.5 hours by plane took about 8 hours...I love it! You wonder why they have so many stories to tell. They're the most flexible travelers I know).
We've been having a blast, they love this city. I actually think they're going to become members of our board of elders:) We're trying to get them to stay:)
It's refreshing having them over here to see what's happening in our lives and in the life of the ministry being planted here. They joined the leadership team last night for a lively, I mean lively 5-hour discussion of evaluating where we're all at. It was a wonderful time of prayer, debating, arguing, laughing and an overall sense of connectedness about the direction of Eikon.

It's great to have mom and dad here!
